HI I'm in grade 10 learning french, We have a test on Metaphor and Irony and you need to identify whether Irony was used or metaphor was used. My question is as my first langues is English's how can identify whether metaphor was used or irony was used in french!!!!!(Like key words or how the sentence flows)
elle entre ____. maison ils vont ____ cafe
In the sentence 'I'll call you before leaving' (future) in the quizzes, it seems to be translated in the present tense..' Je t'appelle avant de partir'. Is this a colloquialism ?
Thanks
Especially those with "que" followed by noun.
I can still wrap my mind around and understand "Qu'est-ce que c'est?", but "Qu'est-ce que c'est que un stylo", how are they connected with "que"?
Forgive me if I wrote some sentence wrong, it's really kind of weird for me to remember 😂
Is there any difference in meaning between the use of faire and etre contextually? Or, are they freely interchangeable?
I guess my main concern is, is there an example of a time when faire would be chosen over etre and vice versa?
Given that we are talking about a near term thing, why isn’t this better: viens boire un verre, ça va te redonner des forces?
French for "rifle" is "fusil", while "shotgun" is "fusil de chasse". This suggests the core French word "fusil" means something less specific than "rifle", which in English refers to the spiraled "rifling" along the inside of the barrel, which a shotgun lacks.
However, the Italian word "fusile" can mean either "rifle" or "shotgun", yet also spiral-shaped pasta, despite a shotgun lacking this.
Can anyone explain, s'il vous plait ?
In the audio for “Bonjour, je souhaiterais visiter l'Afrique francophone.” is anyone else hearing instead “Bonjour, je souhaiterais à visiter l'Afrique francophone.”?
why for past we use - j'avais du mal
But future we don't use - j'aurai du mal
and uses - je vais avoir du mal ?
